The government did not support a number of unusual opposition initiatives
The Government Commission on Legislative Activities at the meeting on June 2 did not support a number of bills prepared by representatives of the parliamentary opposition. In particular, the idea of the Socialist Revolutionaries was rejected on the introduction of a new tax on a superprofit, the idea of the Communists about the tightening of responsibility for the replacement of the child, as well as the idea of liberal democrats on the establishment of excise tax on animal feed.
The program initiative of the Fair Russia – for Truth (SRZP) about Additional tax of 10% for companieswhose average profit for 2024 and 2025 exceeded 1 billion rubles, did not find understanding either from the Ministry of Finance or the Ministry of Economy. Since January 2025, the income tax rate of organizations has already increased from 20% to 25%, according to the draft commission said. In addition, the president in his message proposed taking into account these changes to fix the tax parameters until 2030 to ensure “stable and predictable conditions” for the implementation of any, including long -term, investment projects, in the Cabinet of Ministers.
Note that the SRZP repeatedly appears to introduce “increased taxes on superpathies”. For example, in May, the head of the party, Sergei Mironov, who became the author of the rejected bill, proposed to bring the maximum personal income tax rate to 35%, fix the tax rate on dividends, as well as introduce a “luxury or state tax”.
Another economic initiative of the opposition is about Animal feed excise taxes – The government also refused support. We are talking about the proposal of the deputy Stanislav Naumov (LDPR) to charge 1 rubles. for 1 kg of feed to the budgets of constituent entities of the Russian Federation. According to the draft commission, in the case of implementation, this initiative will increase the administrative burden on the procurers of feed, and will also lead to the rise in the cost of all agricultural products and, as a result, to an increase in products for products, including socially significant ones.
I did not find an understanding in the Cabinet of Ministers and the bill of the head of the Duma labor committee of Yaroslav Nilov (LDPR) on the ban on the prohibition prescribe life imprisonment to disabled people of the first group. Since 2022, not a single disabled person of the first or second group was sentenced to such a punishment, the commission was reminded, and medical care is already convicted in specialized hospitals. “Thus, the question raised by the bill is settled,” the recall project says.
Finally, for a similar reason, the government does not see the point Tighten the punishment under Art. 153 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation on the substitution of the child – From the current 5 to 20 years in prison. The draft recall on the bill of the head of the Family Protection Committee Nina Ostanina (Communist Party) states that from 2022 to 2024 such crimes in Russia were not registered at all. “A significant increase in liability should be based on the analysis of law enforcement practice and judicial statistics, indicating the insufficiency of the currently established punishment measures,” the commission insisted.
